  • Flow prioritizing valve system
    Patent number: 7841841
    Abstract: A flow prioritizing system includes a regulating valve and a flow prioritizing valve. The regulating valve receives a first portion of the fluid supplied from a fuel supply pump, and is responsive to a control pressure to selectively allow or prohibit flow to secondary loads. The flow prioritizing control valve is responsive to fluid pressure representative of delivery pump discharge pressure to control the control pressure to which the regulating valve is responsive.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 23, 2007
    Date of Patent: November 30, 2010
    Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.

  • Fuel metering valve assembly including thermal compensation mechanism
    Patent number: 7784487
    Abstract: A metering valve assembly is provided for metering a fluid. The metering valve assembly includes a position sensor, metering valve, and a thermal compensation mechanism. The metering valve includes a valve housing having a flow passage therethrough, and a valve element movably mounted within the valve housing. The thermal compensation mechanism is coupled between the position sensor and the valve element and configured to adjust the displacement of the position sensor relative to the valve element as a function of fluid temperature.

  • Method of decoding encoded relative spectral data
    Patent number: 5004910
    Abstract: A method of decoding spectral data that has been encoding by modulation of a spectrum of light to produce data bits from a source using on/off and off/on transitions to represent each data bit. A start data bit with a constant width precedes each segment of light representing the data bits. The intersection of the output of spectral detectors and a hysteresis curve determines a transition through which information is obtained from the encoded data.

  • Method to decode relative spectral data
    Patent number: 4857726
    Abstract: A method of encoding and decoding a binary modulated light spectrum to recover encoded intelligence. The method enables reliable and accurate decoding of wave division multiplexed data. The method incorporates a step of encoding data and a step of decoding the data which employs a photo-detector array. This method of encoding and decoding data compensates for variations in signal level, spectral position and spectral width with no degradation in reconstructed data.
